    D&D 5E How to deal with Metagaming as a player?

    For those who have a tough time wrapping their head around the more liberal/modern view of metagaming, I highly recommend watching the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino masterpiece, From Dusk Till Dawn (the 1996 movie). Warning - 20 year old spoilers below For the first half of the movie or...

    D&D 5E Do you love Awesome Names?

    My wife names all of her RPG characters after professional wrestlers. That is how we wound up with priest Shinsuke Nakamura in a western medieval setting. I could suggest she pick a more appropriate name on such occasions, or I could keep my mouth shut and appreciate the fact I have a wife...

    D&D 5E Whatever "lore" is, it isn't "rules."

    We actually had this issue come up in the weekly Dark Sun game I run. When I was putting the campaign together, I started with the 4e campaign guide as the base and then used 2e materials to flesh things out. As far as I'm concerned, 4e had the best Dark Sun canon as no 2e Dark Sun group I...

    D&D 5E lowest level to fight a marilith

    My Dark Sun campaign PCs are level 5. Last night they were fighting a Hezrou (sp?) demon that killed the spell-less Rangers pet Jakar during the fight. The fight was taking place next to a demonic portal. During the fight, the Bard tied a rope around the dead Jakar and tosses it into the...

    D&D 5E Low CRs and "Boring" Monsters: Ogre

    So you're saying it's possible to go from playing the "correct way" (role playing) during the social pillar to playing the "incorrect way" (board game) during the combat pillar. So badwrongfun, got it.

    D&D 5E Low CRs and "Boring" Monsters: Ogre

    The social piller. A DM who wants to ignore flavor text and instead runs the monsters out of the stat block so he can spend his prep time creating memorable social encounters is playing an RPG, not a board game. Is a DM who uses the flavor text to create amazing and memorable combats but...

    D&D 5E Time Travel and forced time paradoxes

    When the PCs return they find that the cult exists, but it is currently being run by the father of one of the PCs (because the father looked just like the PC of legend so mistakes were made). Further, because of the temporal shenanigans, the father left the PC's mother and married one (or more)...

    D&D 5E Enhancing "Curse of Strahd" (and DDAL adventures)

    Last year the first major 5e campaign I ran was the Grand Conjunction series of Ravenloft adventures. I'm having CoS take place 6 years later. Basically, after the Grand Conjunction fell apart Strahd became depressed and slept for 4 years. During that time Barovia prospered in its trade with...

    D&D 5E Noticing a magic item

    In my 5e game I still use the 4e system of using Arcana to detect magic (although the PCs can still cast Detect Magic if they don't want to rely on a skill check). For those boots I wouldn't even require a check as the DC would be so low. I'd just tell the PCs, the shoes radiate a faint hint...
